Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 400°F. Cut the cauliflower into florets and boil in salted water for 4 minutes, then drain very well.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a saucepan, whisk in the flour for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the milk. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Off the heat, stir in 1.5 cups of cheddar, the Dijon, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Fold the cauliflower into the sauce, spread in a 9x13 dish, and top with the remaining cheddar and the panko.

  5. 5

    Bake at 400°F until deeply golden and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.
